What a stunning hat! It has a wide brim and is glittery gold; the top of the hat as well as the ribbon and edge of the brim. The top of the hat is slanted which adds lots of style and class. The material is lame and a mesh like fabric. It has a curled gold ribbon on the side along with gold tone beads. It would be great for the upcoming Derby Day, a wedding, tea party or other special occasions. It is in wonderful condition; was worn once. The only thing I would point out here is there is a slight makeup smudge located in the front inside brim as seen in Photo 9. The hat is 22" in circumference. The top of the hat is slanted and is 4" tall on one side and 5" tall on the other. The brim is 18" wide side to side and 20" wide front to back. The designer, Brenda Waites Bolling, is very well known. Her hats are made in the U.S.A.
